296 Investigation and research (II)

Yang Lian originally came to investigate why the local auxiliary government agencies couldn't be as effective as the Central Supervision Yuan, who knew that when he said it, he talked about the palace maids who went out of the palace, both men and women in the world have an interest in listening to secrets, but some people hide it deeply, and some people don't hide their interests, the right to decide and the right of veto, the court does not want to give it to ordinary people for the time being, because even if they have this right, they don't know how to use it well.

For a country, the main consideration should be how to maintain stability and how to continue development, whether stability or development needs to stipulate what a person is allowed to do or what he is not allowed to do, between what is allowed and what is not allowed, and between what is allowed and what is not allowed, a variety of rights can be enjoyed, and the framers and enforcers of these rights can enjoy these rights. Although the state stipulates that everyone has one or another right, except for the right to finance, human rights and the right of veto, which are more popular, there are not many other rights that are liked, and no one is ecstatic when they know that they have the right to pay taxes.

The meaning of the apocalypse is that there is a lack of groups representing the current people in the local auxiliary political institutions, and they are ready to add some figures such as village elders to them, even if these people don't know anything and can't give any good opinions on local governance, at least they have the reputation to be able to calm the scene like the bodhisattvas in the templeβ˜† Lian's purpose this time is to investigate the feasibility of doing this, to see if the local officials and people are willing to add such a number of people, who can not only help the officials but also speak for the people, so that the inadvertent contradictions can be eliminated in time. Avoid its gradual intensification and finally out of control.

Yang Lian began to listen to Lu County's order to introduce the ins and outs of the matter two months ago, and originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask if it was appropriate to add some locals to the auxiliary political agency, but seeing that Lu County's order talked about the palace maids serving as female officials in their hometown after leaving the palace, he was curious and asked: "I heard that these palace maids learned their skills in the palace, how did these two learn when they came back from Donghu County?" Can it play a role in the county? According to what you said, there is a person who marries and another who wants to marry in a neighboring county, will there be a situation where half of the work is done and ends up in nothing? ”

Lu Xianling said: "The two of them are learning medical skills and the other is weaving and embroidery, according to their own words, they have studied in the palace for more than a year, and their skills can only be said to be proficient. According to the lower officials, their role is more manifested in the convener to learn from each other and do things collectively, in the past, many women avoided medical treatment, minor illnesses dragged into major illnesses and finally died, since the palace female doctor came back, many female doctors were summoned to treat women, and the business was praised by many people. If she really marries in a neighboring county and goes to the women's medical center, it will not be closed, and many business-minded people are ready to take over, and the lower officials are also discussing with others whether to let private people do it or continue to ask for people from above. ”

Yang Lian shook his head and said: "It is estimated that there will be no people sent from above, you had better let the private people do it first to strengthen supervision, and then slowly take it back when there are more people in the future, or you can open a new medical center." Anyway, I heard that the emperor will release a group of people from the palace every year, and at the same time accept a group of people in, which is equivalent to the palace training talents for various places, you should thank the emperor for his grace. ”

Lu Xianling hurriedly said: "The emperor's kindness is high and the earth is thick, and we, as courtiers, should really be grateful for the emperor's grace all the time." ”

Yang Lian thought for a while and asked, "You said that you want to marry someone from a neighboring county to study medicine?" Is the person who is already married a person who learns to weave and embroider? She got married, and she still showed up to take charge of things in the county, did anyone object? And you said that her husband is in business, and she has a business in front of the official, does anyone say that it is not true? ”

Lu County Ling said: "The eyes of the adults are like torches, she is indeed in charge of the county while taking care of the family business, the county has assigned her two female catchers to protect her, her husband has no objection, and no one said anythingβ˜† At the beginning, there were indeed two or three families who thought that they were subject to unfair competition and sent people to make trouble, and then the East Factory came forward to suppress these families before they dared to mess around again, of course, the palace maid also announced that her family would no longer do textile-related business, so that everyone had nothing to say. ”

Liu Qiao asked in surprise: "Could it be that this palace maid still has an old relationship with Wei Zhongxian?" Why did Dongchang stand up for her? ”

Lu Xianling shook his head and said: "This subordinate is not clear, there were many people who made trouble at that time, and the subordinate just sent someone to his husband's house to protect him, and quickly reported the matter to the above, and the specific situation was unknown to the lower official." ”

Yang Lian thought about it carefully, knowing that the apocalypse was sick at that time, and the queen had already said that the palace maids who went out were taken care of by her, and it must have been the queen who sent an order to Wei Zhongxian to ask him to come outβ˜† Lian asked these old things about the palace maid's marriage not because he had a hobby of spying **, but thought of one thing, and felt that it might be useful to know more about the situation of the palace maid, Yang Lian meant that since the reason for all this is that there are not enough men when the farm is busy, why not organize some women to work in the weaving house? The palace maid can learn the craft in a year, and ordinary people may learn it for a few months and do it at the same time.

Thinking of this, Yang Lian asked: "In the past, the role of patrolling around according to the imperial history was not very large, and I knew that many places heard that the imperial history was going to come and do everything on the surface, and there were even imperial historians who blackmailed everywhere to seek benefits." Now that the imperial court has appointed the Liupin Inspector as the county supervisor according to the imperial history, and the county has fixed the supervision of the change of merchants to sit in the county, does the county order think that this is appropriate? Two months ago, there was an accident in your county, did the county supervisor contribute? What did he usually do? ”

Lu Xian Ling thought for a while and said: "From the perspective of solving the problem, the fixed supervision is definitely much better now than before, as the adults said, the fixed supervision is to change the business to sit down, he must at least be responsible for this place, and not stay out of the matter if something happens, there was a dispute in the county a month ago, the county supervisor immediately came to inquire about the lower officials, and the lower officials' suggestions that the grain factories should not be started after the harvest was not harvested, and they were also forcibly implemented with the strong support of the county supervisors. He usually doesn't like to take care of things, he only likes to drink tea and play chess with people, and only once in a while does he send someone to understand the affairs of the lower officials, and he lives a very relaxed and comfortable life, which is enviable. ”

Yang Lian nodded slightly after listening to the words of the county order, and said in his heart that the county supervisor should not interfere with the county order in normal times, but he only came out to deal with special affairs when special affairs occurred. However, Yang Lian also heard from the words of Lu County Decree that the county supervisor is usually very leisurely, and it stands to reason that the county supervisor should talk to the local people more when he has nothing to do, so as to understand the situation of the people so that special affairs can be dealt with in a timely manner, and at the same time, he can also add a bit of a pro-people image to himself among the people.

Yang Lian thought about it and felt that he should give the county supervisor of Donghu County a wake-up call, and not only Donghu County, but also other counties must have these situations, as the county supervisor who appears to supervise the county order and do things fairly, it is very important to get the people's knowledge and understanding, and let the people know that the county supervisor will always stand with the people, otherwise it will be unpleasant. Later, when I thought about it, the Qipin County Decree did not allow it to easily go to the countryside to harass the people, and it was inconvenient for the Liupin County Supervisor to ask the people twice in three days, and it was unrealistic to ask these scholars to take off their robes and mingle with the farmers in the fields.

Yang Lian thought for a while and said to Lu County Order: "After analyzing what you started with, I think there should be more local people in the auxiliary political agency, first, it is more convenient for the local people to communicate with the locals, and it is easy to hear the truth of the people, and secondly, it can also help more with the affairs of the county, what do you think of the Lu County Order?" ”

Lu Xian Ling's account folded and said: "Xiaguan usually feels that something is missing when he handles affairs, and always thinks that the words of the people are not easy to understand, and their emotions are not easy to control. It would be good if some people could be elected to represent the people, but I am afraid that some ill-intentioned people will profit from it, and it is these ill-intentioned people who will be scolded by the county when they get benefits. ”

Yang Lian asked in surprise: "Why did Lu County Ling say this?" ”

Lu County Decree said: "This is still the real person of the previous term, saying that there was once a government official who specialized in the business of covering the lawsuit, saying that he specialized in illegal things, it seems that it is not, it can only be said that he skillfully deceived the superiors and subordinates to profit ♀ from it, and the official will make a judgment in advance according to the specific situation and the style of the county order when the county order is tried, if he finds that someone will win the lawsuit and the person himself does not know, he will quietly go to this person to ask for benefits and say that the county order wants benefits to win the lawsuit. Originally, it would have been revealed after a long time, but this person's good work was unnoticeable, and he could even take people to see the negotiation process between himself and the county magistrate. ”

Yang Lian said strangely: "Since he is deceiving his superiors and subordinates, how can he let people see the negotiation process between him and the county order?" Is there really a problem with this county order? ”

Lu County Commander said: "It's not like this, the predecessor of the subordinate didn't know what the official did Γ· the official did not know, for example, the official called the victim outside the hall and quietly asked the victim how much silver he was willing to pay if he wanted to win the lawsuit the lord said that after a number, the official went in and asked the county magistrate if he was hungry and wanted to eat a snack, and the magistrate shook his head and came out and said to the victim that the county magistrate was too little to increase the price, and when the magistrate added some servants, he went in and asked if the county magistrate needed to change a cup of tea, and after the county magistrate agreed, the magistrate came out and said to the victim that the county magistrate agreed to his number and asked him to pay the money and be promoted to the court in two days, and the lawsuit would definitely win. The victim saw the county order inside from outside the hall with his own eyes, shook his head and nodded, how could he not believe it? Do you say that the servants are cunning or not? ”

Yang Lian said: "I understand what you mean, this official knows when the county commander wants to change a cup of tea when he eats snacks, and uses the information advantage to deceive the victim into giving money, in fact, the subject can win the lawsuit without paying the money, it seems that the previous county magistrate is a good official who admits reason and does not recognize money, but he was deceived by his subordinates." ”

Lu County Ling said: "Yes, that's why people often say, 'Officials are as clear as water, officials are as smooth as oil', officials need to accept the economic inspection system, but small officials don't need to, they scoop up the silver, that is no scruple at all" Ren County Commander was a Qing official, but was secretly scolded by the people as a corrupt official hypocrite, and over time was given a bad review by the boss after knowing it, and when the three-year term was completed in the assessment of the Ministry of Officials, some people had to return to their hometowns gloomily, but fortunately, the court lacked people and came back last year and was called by the court to work in other places, it is said that because of the ability to also upgrade the grade, It can be regarded as a good person with a good reward. ”

Yang Lian nodded and said: "It makes sense that people are good and people don't deceive the sky, and no one can guarantee whether they can find someone who is not cunning, but I think there should be no problem in strengthening regulatory measures and punishment, I just want to ask you one thing, if you really find someone, everyone will ask you a piece of money in the county, is the county enough money?" ”

Lu County Ling said: "Since the imperial court has retained half of the tax revenue, half of the remaining half has been left in the county, and there is a surplus every year in addition to normal expenditures, and it should be no problem to spend on a few people." ”

Yang Lian said: "Okay! Tomorrow you will go with us for a walk, and if you are afraid that people will say that you are harassing the people, you will change into civilian clothes, even if someone tells you irresponsible things in the future, and the official will block it for you. ”

Lu Xianling was overjoyed when he heard this: "Of course the adults have orders to obey the officials, but I don't know who the adults are?" ”

Yang Lian smiled slightly and said: "This official is Yang Lian, the left capital of the Imperial Palace. ”
